Bio

Ever since I was young, I was always enthralled by science, especially chemistry. I always found the chemical experiments intriguing due to the chemical reactions and the scientific methods used to understand the concepts. I have been inspired by literature and creative writing throughout my schooling. I have extensive experience in reading various literature pieces with a range of genres. My excitement for reading has been evident with my instructors due to my drive to always have a book to read. Because of this, it has lead me to producing creative writing pieces that have been inspired by my enjoyment of literature. Another area I have excelled in is through performing and visual arts. I began my experience in performing arts when I was eight years old when I joined a summer program teaching the various aspects of performance through dance, singing, and performing. This inspired me to identify ways to continue performing. Because of this I have had experience in a multitude of theater and musical productions. These productions include Click Clack Moo (Farmer Brown), Frozen Jr. (King and Weselton), Little Shop of Horrors (Dentist Orin), Treasure Island (ensemble), Little Mermaid (Scuttle), Alice in Wonderland (Tweedledum), Mean Girls (Kevin G), Little Mermaid Jr. (Grimsby), and Addam's Family (Uncle Fester). In visual arts, my high school career has included courses in photography, yearbook, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, mixed media, print making, graphic design, and Photoshop.
